Why won’t former President Obama ever
go away?

In 1921, Woodrow Wilson, the first of America’s four transformative progressive presidents, became the first president to remain in Washington and make the nation’s capital his permanent home after leaving office. In very mild defense of the man who did more than any other to establish the administrative state and thus pervert America’s carefully constructed constitutional design, Wilson had suffered a debilitating stroke two years prior that left him partially paralyzed and nearly blind. He died just a few years later, in 1924. Barack Obama, the nation’s fourth transformative progressive president (following Wilson, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Lyndon B. Johnson)

Six people were found dead in a cargo train boxcar near a Laredo, Texas, rail yard Sunday, officials said. Police responded after a Union Pacific employee called to report a “trailer box car with the discovery of multiple casualties in the car” around 3 p.m. local time, police said. The ages of the victims and the origin of the train were not immediately released. Jose Baeza, an investigator with the Laredo Police Department, said those questions are “at the crux of the ongoing fluid investigation.” The Webb County medical examiner will conduct an autopsy to determine the cause and manner
Democrats, who are openly talking about packing the United States Supreme Court to basically rewrite the Constitution of the United States, are so panicked by their failure to illegally redraw the Congressional map in Virginia that they are, according to The New York Times, contemplating a move to remove the current Supreme Court justices in Virginia with a new, less legally-minded group appointed by Abigail Spanberger. (Snip) This is not some fever dream cooked up by Alex Jones. The New York Times actually reported that Hakeem Jeffries and company held a panicked phone call discussing measures to override the Virginia
A key architect of California’s controversial billionaire tax acknowledged this week that the proposed one-time levy may end up becoming permanent. Economics professor Emmanuel Saez made the admission during a Tuesday debate against Arthur Laffer, the father of trickle-down economics, at the University of California, Berkeley. The billionaires tax — proposed by the Service Employees International Union–United Healthcare Workers West — would impose a one-time 5% levy on California residents with assets exceeding $1 billion. Supporters say the tax is needed to address healthcare funding gaps tied to cuts to Medicaid and other federal programs implemented last year. The proposal
Walz hit with local revolt from Minnesota

mayor refusing ‘ugly’ new flag: ‘People’s decision’ 8 replies
Minnesota Democratic Gov. Tim Walz is facing a new challenge from a Minneapolis-area mayor who is refusing to back down from flying the original 1980s state flag. The mayor said the controversial flag redesign has left citizens out of the process and stuck with what consider an "ugly" replacement. (Snip) The new flag has become a cultural and political flashpoint in a state already reeling from one of the largest fraud scandals in U.S. history, heavily involving the Somali immigrant community. The flag was approved by a 13-member commission created by the Democratic-controlled legislature in 2023. Critics of the flag

dramatic plea 44 replies
Barack Obama has offered a rare and candid glimpse into his marriage - and it turns out Donald Trump is causing trouble at home. The former President, 64, admitted in an interview that Michelle wants him to step back from public life so the couple can enjoy their later years together. The problem? He keeps getting pulled back into the politics of the day. The former commander-in-chief said Trump's return to the White House is the reason he cannot simply walk away, and that his inability to do so has become a source of friction at home. 'It does create genuine
Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani has been hospitalized and is in critical but stable condition, according to a statement posted Sunday on X. Ted Goodman, a political strategist who launched a livestream program with Giuliani, posted about the hospitalization on Sunday evening. "Mayor Rudy Giuliani is currently in the hospital, where he remains in critical but stable condition," Goodman wrote. "Mayor Giuliani is a fighter who has faced every challenge in his life with unwavering strength, and he's fighting with that same level of strength as we speak. "We do ask that you join us in prayer for
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – Communist and socialist groups called for a "revolution" at a May Day rally in Minneapolis Friday, highlighting the growing influence of far-left organizations at an event traditionally centered on workers’ rights. Some of those demonstrators denounced capitalism and pushed for the seizure of private property and the means of production, marking a shift in tone from past May Day rallies that primarily focused on labor issues. (Snip) Demonstrators carried signs reading "F--k ICE," "Abolish ICE," "Fight Trump’s Agenda," "No Kings" and "Stop the War," while others waved red flags associated with the Communist Party USA and held

Reparations advocates spoke at Kennedy King College in Chicago, Illinois on Tuesday, arguing the "moral" responsibility of the federal government to compensate Black Americans for slavery. One of the attendees was waiting for the event to begin in the hallway with dozens of students outside the college theater auditorium. Grace, a student at Kennedy King College, told Fox News Digital that she was eager to see her professor, Dr. Daniel Davis. "I'm studying African American 101 with Professor Dr. Davis," Grace said. She continued, "I'm here to be more advanced on my ancestors. I've not been to class in over
Washington — Maine Gov. Janet Mills announced Thursday that she is suspending her campaign for Senate, all but ensuring Graham Platner will get the Democratic nomination to take on incumbent GOP Sen. Susan Collins of Maine in one of November's most important Senate races. (Snip) Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer had recruited Mills, the only Democrat to have won statewide in Maine in 25 years, to challenge Collins. But her age — she will be 79 when a new Congress convenes next year — had been a concern for Democrats in the state. Platner, a 41-year-old oyster farmer and political newcomer, announced he
Former Rep. Barney Frank, a liberal icon who was a key architect of the landmark Wall Street regulations Democrats enacted in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, has entered hospice care at his home in Maine. And as one of his last acts, he is preparing to release a book repudiating his party’s left flank. A champion of liberal causes during his 32 years representing Massachusetts in the House, Frank says progressive Democrats have “embraced an agenda that goes beyond what’s politically acceptable.” “Until we separate ourselves from that agenda, we don’t win,” he said in an interview Tuesday.
A flood of misinformation, conspiracy theories and false claims about the shooting at Saturday night’s White House Correspondents' Association dinner spread online at a notable and concerningly speedy rate, mostly about the baseless theory that the incident had been staged. (Snip) This time, it was less than two or three hours. The response highlights how conspiracy theories and a knee-jerk skepticism of current events have become the default response for a growing number of Americans, deepened by the loss of trust in institutions and supercharged by starkly partisan politics. “I would have been surprised if they hadn’t developed because we’re

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy and his wife, "Fox & Friends" co-host Rachel Campos-Duffy, fired back on Friday after former Sec. Pete Buttigieg and his husband launched a barrage of attacks against the Duffys' upcoming "Great American Road Trip" reality TV series. The feud ignited Friday after the couple announced the new show on "Fox & Friends." Chasten Glezman Buttigieg quickly took to X to bash the project, accusing the Duffys of taking a "multi-month, taxpayer-funded family road trip" while gas and grocery prices soar due to "Trump's war of choice."
He went on to call the couple "unfocused, unserious, and out of touch," and aired old grievances about the Duffys' past
Something big is on the horizon — and the people saying so aren't fringe voices on a podcast. They're senior Trump administration officials.
Monica Crowley, the U.S. government's chief of protocol, dropped a significant claim on Wednesday: hard evidence that Donald Trump won the 2020 presidential election is coming, and it's coming soon. "He did win in a landslide, and we will soon be able to give evidence about that," Crowley said.
Now, she didn't lay out a timeline or spell out exactly what the evidence would look like, but the message was clear.
North Korea has updated its constitution to require a retaliatory nuclear strike if leader Kim Jong Un is assassinated, according to a report. The Telegraph reported the change comes amid heightened global tensions following the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and other officials during a recent conflict.
Khamenei was killed in an Israeli strike in Tehran as part of a coordinated U.S.-Israeli military operation earlier this year, Fox News Digital previously reported.
The constitutional revision was approved during a session of North Korea’s Supreme People’s Assembly, which opened March 22 in Pyongyang, the outlet said. South Korea's National Intelligence Service (NIS) briefed senior government officials this week on the update,
The Spine of Justice Roberts
20 replies
I do not like Chief Justice John Roberts. I think his loyalties lie more with defending the entrenched powers of the political Establishment than with defending the Constitution of the United States. I find his jurisprudence squishy. Although his decisions could be described as advancing, more often than not, conservative viewpoints, Roberts does not seem to have a consistent philosophy guiding his opinions.
The Party's Over

The Democrat party is facing such a host of seemingly intractable problems -- structural, financial, legal, and ideological -- that it will be close to a miracle if it survives after this year’s midterms. The below deck shuffles -- encouraging illegal alien votes, manipulating the census, making crooked voting almost impossible to check, and stuffing their pockets with illegal contributions through ACT Blue and pay-to-play schemes of USAID and NGOs -- are all suddenly being exposed and blocked.
Empty Pockets
Jeff Childers has done a thorough job explaining the party’s terminal crisis. Being short of funds is a good start.
President Trump on Sunday appeared to reject Iran’s latest proposal in ongoing negotiations over a peace deal, calling the Islamic republic’s offer “totally unacceptable.”
“I have just read the response from Iran’s so-called ‘Representatives.’ I don’t like it — TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
The president also warned the country against “playing games” after Tehran refused to discuss its nuclear program in its latest response to America’s peace proposal through Pakistani mediators.
Trump slammed the rogue Mideast country for delaying negotiations historically, ranting on the social platform.
BOSTON — A bill quietly moving through the Massachusetts Senate — and one Gov. Maura Healey signature away from law if it clears the House — would mean a 20-year-old who deals fentanyl, sticks up a convenience store at gunpoint, or sexually assaults a child gets juvenile court. Sealed record. Out by his 21st birthday.
Department of Youth Services rather than state prison. Out of the system at 21 — for any case that lands in juvenile court.
The bill is S.1061, "An Act to promote public safety and better outcomes for youths,"

SCOTUS, misspells 'Virgnia' and 'Sentator'
in brief 14 replies
Democrats in Virginia, after their map to make the state 10-to-1 in favor of Democrats was struck down by the Virginia Supreme Court, have filed a motion to bring the decision before the Supreme Court of the United States. In the filing, the lawmakers misspelled Virginia as "Virgnia" and Senator as "Sentator."
The document, filed on Friday, listed those appealing the decision as "DON SCOTT, in his official capacity as Speaker of the Virgnia House of Delegates, et al," misspelling Virginia in the document. When listing the Appellees, the document stated, "RYAN T. MCDOUGLE, Virginia State Sentator and Legislative Commissioner for the Virginia Redistricting Commission, et al," misspelling Senator
As night follows day, progressives’ response to the Virginia Supreme Court’s tossing of Gov. Abigail Spanberger’s outrageous gerrymander is to demand an instant court-packing move to undo it.
To lefties driving today’s Democratic Party, it’s not “democracy” unless it’s hard-wired to let them run roughshod — and when their power-grab schemes run afoul of the rule of law, their only answer is a fresh scheme.
Specifically, progs want to ram through a law instantly dropping the retirement age for the Virginia court to 54, which would allow the legislature to replace enough justices to restore the gerrymander.
Spanberger’s already caved to the left in pushing an outrage she’d promised to oppose; will she

The hantavirus-stricken HV Hondius anchored in Spain Sunday morning after the outbreak on the ship left three travelers dead and sparked global concern over a possible wider spread of the rodent-borne illness.
The plagued Dutch cruise ship reached Tenerife – the Canary Islands’ largest island – around 6:30 a.m local time as more than 140 passengers and crew started to disembark from the vessel.
“All the passengers remain asymptomatic,” Spain’s Health Minister Monica Garcia said during a Sunday morning news conference. “The entire operation is proceeding normally.”
As President Donald Trump's second term produces immigration policies, deportations and cultural shifts toward a more concentrated citizen population, red states are passing their own legislation and running candidates focused on thwarting Islamic community developments and reducing their influence.
"This is a major offensive in North Texas right now that I don't understand, but we are pushing back hard. We've got several organizations that are helping us. The governor is doing his part now, so I'm pretty optimistic that people are waking up to the dangers of Sharia in North Texas," Rep. Keith Self, R-Texas, told Just The News.
